Can it be more than that, with Windows 8’s app sandboxing?
- magic_haze 14y agoApparently, yes, as long as they declare it in the manifest: http://lunarfrog.com/blog/2011/10/03/winrt-storage-overview/ http://lunarfrog.com/blog/2011/10/03/winrt-storage-overview/
- gdc 14y agoI'm astounded that people can still be this clueless about Win8 months after release.
- ghshephard 14y agoI have no idea whether Dropbox can work under Windows 8, and I read the various tech blogs/updates reasonably closely. Would this work with Win8RT? (or whatever the OS they are running on their ARM surface tablets is called). What about Surface with Windows 8 Pro (or whatever the X86 Surface Tablet OS is called)?
- jmtulloss 14y agoAre you working on a product for which knowing these answers in useful? I think the average product developer is not yet seeing the benefit the targeting Windows 8 and therefore hasn't bothered to educate themselves on the intricacies of the platform.
- meaty 14y agoI personally just don't want to invest my time in it. Either way, if I'm going to push something, its going to be over HTTP and not platform tied.
- chamanbuga 14y agoSure it can. They can use WinRT Background Transfer to sync content in the background.
